SURPRISE Baby Shower!!!!!

My neighboorhood friends and I had a surprise baby shower for Miranda at our house on Saturday! She is having her second girl so made it a diaper and gift card shower! I thought she would have suspected something, but she was truly surpised...YES!!! It was fun!

Here she is walking in the door...

Texas Size XX-Big!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am talking about a cinnamon roll!!!!!! :) My friend Miranda wanted a weekend to relax before baby Cora comes in March, so we went to Austin for the weekend. We stayed with her sister-in-law Dawn in Austin. We traveled to San Antonio to make a dream of Miranda's come true...have a taste of the biggest cinny (as she calls them) at Lulu's!!! It was HUGE!!!! It was way bigger than we expected AND only $5.99!!!! I had to bring one home so Chris could have the experience too! We outlet mall shopped, ate out, and enjoyed the day! Take a look at the size of this thing....




Claire's Baptism and Pawpaw's 85th Birthday

I went home the first weekend in January to celebrate 2 very important things, my cousin Claire's baptism and my Pawpaw's 85th Birthday! I was glad to be there for both!

Brian and Shelley were so proud as they watched their little angel be christened into the catholic church! Her godparents were Brad and Teri! They had a yummy lunch after at the church hall!



My amazing Pawpaw celebrated his birthday on the same day! He turned 85 but is still going strong! He is such an amazing Pawpaw and has worked so hard to make our family as tight-knit as we are! He is truly one in a million! There is no other person whose heart is as big as his! We had a pizza party and a yummy cookie cake that my mom made! One funny moment was when he got a snuggie! He wasn't quite sure about it! It was cute!
